Change your IP-address to an UK one


If you would like to change your IP-address to an UK one then you have to install Expat Shield. This shield allows you to have an UK-IP-address.

However, you cannot have both Hotspot shield (see my previous posts) and Expat Shield in the same computer because both softwares belong to Anchor Free. Thus, you have to uninstall Hotspot Shield in this case.

Hint: Expat Shield works only with Windows XP/Vista/7.

The UK-IP-address allows you then to be able to watch:

BBC iplayer TV: The following video show you this in more details. See also this link too: watch-bbc-iplayer.com


ITV player: The following images show you the ITV player.


Channel 4oD, Sky player and Channel 5 on demand may not work for you. But it is worth try!

Hint 1: You can also watch live TV on the BBC iplayer.
Hint 2: Use the Opera browser to watch those channels then the live streaming will be much faster.

Using Hotspot Shield in order to watch movies and series from the US [Updated]

In this post (Updated) I will give you some tutorial about how you can actually watch movies and series from the US.

Hotspot shield is a free VPN service that allows you to hide your ip-address and also gives you an US-ip-address, which let you be able to watch fresh movies and series that are broadcasted in the United States (US).

Because you have an US-ip, the website where you want' watch thinks that your location is currently in the US, which is not entirely true because you call that website via the Hotspot Shield server which is in fact located in the US.

Hotspot Shield was for me an essential tool in order to counteract the blockade 404 that was imposed to us (in Tunisia) for several years before the holy revolution of 7.12.2010-14.01.2011 occured.
Back in 2010, I still remember how I showed some friends and family how they can use Hotspot Shield in order to open youtube, wat.tv, and other websites, which were blocked too. That was really cool :)
Hotspot Shield (AnchorFree)
Also, the service is free but it is financed by ads (advertisement) that you have to click sometimes: "This is money too!"

Going back to this tutorial...

So, now all you have to do is to download the Hotspot Shield program located here.

And then, just follow the following steps:
  • In Step 0, download the program and install it.
  • Step 1, connect with Hotspot Shield like seen in the image
  • Step 2, connection will be established. It takes some times... and you have to click a start button.
  • Step 3, This is it! :) enjoy!
Check the following websites, if you would like to watch some fresh new series that did not reached yet the old continents.

  1. HULU
  2. ABC
  3. CBS
  4. NBC

Also, check this cool website called pandora.com where you can hear music from many artists from around the world.
